| Additional information |
À Cœur Joie is a French choral federation founded in Lyon in 1945 by César Geoffrey, built around the conviction that amateur choral singing was a civic good. The Choralies de Vaison-la-Romaine, held every three years in the Provençal town of Vaison-la-Romaine, grew into one of Europe's largest choral gatherings, drawing tens of thousands of singers. This piece was issued for the fifteenth edition in 1995.
The [84] designation refers to the Vaucluse département number — standard French administrative shorthand.
